About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Etoposide, Methylprednisolone, High-dose Cytarabine and Oxaliplatin (ESHAOX) for Patients With Refractory or Relapsed Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Oxaliplatin will be used instead of cisplatin in well-known salvage regimen of etoposide, methylprednisolone, cytarabine and cisplatin (ESHAP). Clinical efficacy and toxicity of this ESHAOX salvage regimen will be evaluated in refractory or relapsed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma patients.

Read the detailed description

Patients with aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) are known to have a malignancy considered curable in many cases. However, diagnosis of refractory or relapsed disease is devastating and the treatment is difficult because regimens of chemotherapy used as salvage therapy are available only in limited numbers. ESHAP, consisting of etoposide, methylprednisolone, high-dose cytarabine and cisplatin, is one of commonly used salvage regimen, and showed its efficacy and feasibility. But it often requires discontinuation of the treatment due to its myelosuppression, neuropathy and renal toxicity, which can also impede further treatment. Oxaliplatin, a platinum coordination complex with an oxalato-ligand as the leaving group and a 1,2-diaminocyclohexane carrier, possesses higher cytotoxic potency on molar basis than cisplatin and carboplatin, and was reported to be active in patients with NHL as a single agent. In addition, the substitution of cisplatin by oxaliplatin in the DHAP regimen, another commonly used one in relapsed or refractory NHL, showed meaningful anti-tumor activity with favorable toxicity profile. Based on preclinical and clinical findings, we will conduct a multi-center phase II study of ESHAOX, which substitutes oxaliplatin with cisplatin in the ESHAP regimen, to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity profile in patients with recurrent or refractory NHL.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Overall Response Rate

    The Overall Response Rate was measured by the number of patients per the total treatment population who partially or completely responded to treatment. Response was evaluated according to the International Workshop to Standardize Response Criteria for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas.

    Measured: up to 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Worst Toxicity Grade by Patient

    graded by National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria of Adverse Event version 3.0

    Measured: up to 24 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Oxaliplatin in people with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, run by Asan Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jun 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Jun 2010). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall Response Rate (time frame: up to 24 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00336583, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Jun 2018.
